Source of Recipe

"Nana" to Bubbe & Alex

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 TB Karo corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
3 TB butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Stir together sugar, milk, cocoa, corn syrup, and salt in a 2 quart
saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook
until a candy thermometer registers 240° F.

Remove mixture from heat; add butter, and let melt. (Do not stir.) Let
cool 10 to 15 minutes or until pan is cool to the touch. Stir in vanilla.

Beat mixture with an electric mixer at medium low speed 2 to 3 minutes
or until mixture begins to lose its gloss.

Working quickly, pour fudge onto a buttered 7" x 11" platter.

Let cool 15 minutes. Cut into 1" pieces.

Yield: Makes about 20 (1 inch) pieces.
